I'm guessing that he's taking a call from Senator McCain at this moment.

Amazing to see such personal and intimate pictures.
Internet has changed the world, and because the Obama team built their campaign around it he has become much closer to all of us.
Thanks for these.
And good luck with all that needs to be fixed and changed! You have already made us proud.

you are so nice and quiet, you all. Feeling like if a friend of mine, one who is really a good and clever person, became the president of the USA. Now I feel safer and hopeful. Impossible not to love you all.
THANK YOU!

Your election means so much to me personally. I am biracial (African American and White) as well and your candidacy and election will heal this country and many conflicts in all of us as well. I also have never been as proud to be an American as I am now, and I feel that finally this IS my country. Thank you for these photos and everything you already have and will do for this amazing country of ours!!!!

I love this picture. It could have been taking in millions of homes across the country. My family sat with a similar focused anticipation watching the results. We shared in the gravity of the moment and the intesity of the outcome. I am proud to have a country that has risen to such great committment and a president elect who represents the a true picture America.

I fell in love with the Obama family when I saw them on tv last winter. It's a joy to see these photos and will be a joy to watch the girls grow up.
